Ok, here are the requirements for joining tsnlocal. If you have questions, post them here, don’t IM me about them – I won’t be available.<\/p>\n

System Requirements:
\n – Windows XP\/2000 or Linux
\n – Hi-Speed Internet Connection (recommended)
\n<\/p>\n

Procedure:
\n – Visit http:\/\/the-spot.net\/myspot.php and login.
\n – Leave this open in the background. You’ll need it for screenshots.
\n – Visit http:\/\/update.windows.com to get the latest updates for your Windows.
\n – Update your computer until it says there are no more updates
\n – Position this window over and to the side of the MySpot page, showing your logged into the site, and so that I can see there are no more windows updates for your computer.
\n – If you are running a “liberated” copy of Windows XP, and cannot update, then be sure you’ve turned on your Automatic Updates (found in your control panel, or by visiting the Windows update site) and show the System Properties (by right clicking on the My Computer icon, choosing Properties, Selecting the “General” tab) so I can see that you have Service Pack 2 on your computer.
\n – Take a screenshot of this
\n – Press “PrtScr” button by the F12 key, open MS Paint, Edit > Paste, File > Save As > save as a .jpg file
\n – Email this to graphics@the-spot.net<\/p>\n

– Run Spybot Search & Destroy
\n – If you don’t have this program go to safer-networking.org<\/a> and pick a place to download it from.
\n – Update your definitions for the program, and run it over your computer to remove any and all spyware that may be on your computer. Do it over and over until it’s completely clean.
\n – Position the finished results window in the same mannor as the Windows Update window over the-spot.net, and take a screenshot of that, save it as a .jpg, and email it.<\/p>\n

– Run Adaware
\n – If you don’t have this program, go to lavasoft.com<\/a> and download it there.
\n – Update your definitions for the program, and run it over your computer to remove any and all adware that may be on your computer. Do it over and over until it’s completely clean.
\n – Position the finished results window in the same mannor as the Windows Update window over the-spot.net, and take a screenshot of that, save it as a .jpg, and email it.<\/p>\n

– Run Virus Scan
\n – If you don’t have a virus scan program (SBC Virus scan, yahoo virus scan, or any other scan from an internet search company DOES NOT COUNT!!!) then get one from AVG’s website, grisoft.com<\/a> for free.
\n – Update your definitions for the program, and run it over your computer to remove any and all viruses that may be on your computer. Do it over and over until it’s completely clean.
\n – Position the finished results window in the same mannor as the Windows Update window over the-spot.net, and take a screenshot of that, save it as a .jpg, and email it.<\/p>\n

When all of these things have been done and confirmed, you’ll be sent more instructions with the password for you to log into tsnlocal. Do not share the password with anyone, because we are watching who joins the network, and the password will only work for you, and only in the set amount of time that will be specified.<\/p>\n

All of these software tools are free, as is the connection to hamachi for now. If there starts to be problems with security and viruses spreading, it will be considered to making it a subscription-based service (with the money going towards funding the search technologies…it’s not free to run 2 computers 24\/7 to index. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Be aware that these requirements can change at any time, and I’ll make notification if they do. If such changes require that you perform the extra act to stay secure, then you will need to do so, or be faced with removal from the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
